Hina-matsuri is Girl’s Day in Japan, and is celebrated on March 3rd.
In this MOC, a family gathers to celebrate the day with the pounding of mochi
(rice cakes) in the traditional style - hammering it inside a large stone
bowl. For those who have never seen this before, one person wets their hands
and reaches into the bowl between hammer blows to fold the mochi over -
timing is crucial! Everyone else helps to roll the mochi into smaller
pieces.
A hina-ningyo doll is on display inside the house. Don’t forget to enjoy the
cherry blossoms!

Is the hina-ningyo doll the same as the Urban Commando? I saw him there, too :)
